Central Spa Therapies |
||||||||||||||||||||
Spas in the Central Region have their own distinctive character, resulting from two key influences, the exciting capital city Bangkok and the culture of the Central Region.The most vibrant of these, the city itself ensures that Bangkok spas rise above those of other Southeast Asia’s city’s position as a hub of business, fashion, design and travel. With spas to be found across the kingdom, it is the spas in Bangkok that offer the greatest selection in terms of range, price, and quality. This is because spas in the fast-paced capital city not only cater to holiday visitors, but also to the local fast-track city dwellers, for whom spa-going has become an integral part of their health and wellness regime. The city spas which broadly fall into three categories; hotel spas, day spas, and medical spas; have been designed to fit into the demanding lifestyle of local residents and range from top to the line luxury to down to earth basics. The culture of the Central Region is more reflective in or influencing of, the regions distinctive architecture. This results in a style of spa design that often uses elements of the classic Thai design, from traditional wooden Thai house on stilts like those still seen in Ayutthaya and the countryside around Bangkok. These are often refurbished to suite the needs of operational demands of day spas, but are equally a popular theme in such hotels spas as the Oriental Spa and Potalai, the Thai Wellness Center in Bangkok.  The most famous and luxurious spa establishments are arguably the hotel spas, which are not for the exclusive pleasure of hotel guests, with the public most welcome to enter and experience their spa offering.Thanks to their location and market positioning, hotels spare no expenses to incorporate some of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art design and fittings, work by famous interior designers and decoration using the very best Thai silks, silk furnishings and genuine antiques to retain the cultural integrity of the spa offering, and all the while service is provided by a team of dedicated spa professionals at a quality and level that is difficult to match anywhere else in the world. Less extravagant but with plenty of charm and service are the many day spas around Bangkok, usually located in renovated houses and set amidst lush tropical gardens to provide a getaway from the bustling city outside. Some day spas who cater to local residents are conveniently located in shopping malls or office complexes, with stunning interior décor and good service. Day spa are more reasonably priced than the luxury hotel spas, though the treatments, service and environment are just as good. The reasonable prices and special packages are designed to encourage spa guests to return on a regular basis. Another type of spa emerging on the busy Bangkok spa scene is the medical spa, combining hospital health services with holistic spa therapies. Here, medical technology such as health check-ups and laser cosmetic surgery is offered in the same place as traditional Thai massage and Chinese acupuncture to provide health rejuvenation and pampering for the body at the same time. Patients can select from a variety of slimming, rejuvenation, and detox fasting programs, integrated medical and holistic natural therapies and wellness programs that are tailored to the individual’s needs. Spas of Central Thailand offer the widest selection of spa experiences, be they in the simple to luxurious, and cater to all whether you are on holiday, a business traveler, or busy city dweller. |
